Everton's hopes of staying afloat in the Premier League were dashed by Brentford, who secured a convincing 4-2 victory at Goodison Park. The Bees' attacking prowess was on full display as they dominated the match, with Igor Tiago scoring an impressive hat-trick to end his goal drought.
The Brazilian forward struck twice in the first half, and then added another in the second period, before Dominic Solanke levelled for Everton. However, Brentford quickly regained the lead through Mathias Jensen's strike, and then Ivan Toney sealed the win with a late penalty.
Everton struggled to cope with Brentford's pace and precision, while their own attacking efforts were hindered by a lack of cohesion. The Toffees' manager, Sean Dyche, will be left wondering how his side failed to match up against a team that has been improving steadily throughout the season.
The win marked a significant milestone for Brentford, who leapfrogged Everton in the table and moved themselves into contention for European qualification. Meanwhile, the defeat serves as another setback for Everton, who have now lost two consecutive matches in what is shaping up to be a tense relegation battle.

i feel bad for evilton, they're really struggling this season 
brentford played so well and deserve that win 
but it's not all good news for them either 
losing two matches in a row can't be easy on the team or the manager 
maybe sean dyche needs to re-think his strategy or get some fresh blood 
anyway, i'm loving brentford's improvement this season 
️ they're definitely getting closer to europe 
. That's just too convenient. Did the ref really give it and not even give a warning? 
And what about the speed of Brentford's attacks, wasn't that just a case of exploiting Everton's slow response time? 
It feels like Everton got caught out by a team that's been improving but still looks way too reliant on individual brilliance from players like Igor Tiago. 
Can we get some more analysis on how the Toffees were set up to counter those fast breaks? 
u feel? they just got outpaced and outplayed by brentford, it's like they were sleepwalking on the pitch 
i mean, sean dyche's gonna have to do some serious soul-searching about what went wrong. is it the squad, is it the tactics, or is it just a case of them running out of steam? 
the thing is, brentford's win was like a wake-up call for everton - they gotta step up their game if they wanna avoid relegation 
but at the same time, brentford's success is also a reminder that anything can happen in football, right? 
His hat-trick was insane. On the other hand, Everton's attack just looks like it's stuck in neutral mode. They need to find some cohesion ASAP or else... 
it looks like brentford's pace and precision was too much for everton to handle maybe they need to work on their cohesion 
4-2? that's embarrassing for evilton lol the brazilian forward was on fire tho, hat-trick and all 
sean dyche gotta figure out how to get his team to gel ASAP or they'll be heading back down 
they played so fast and precise it was hard for everton to keep up sean dyche gotta do some soul searching after this loss 
they're like a well-oiled machine out there with tiago and toney leading the charge! everton just got out-paced and out-played, no excuse for that lol sean dyche gotta shake things up ASAP or he's gonna get canned 
They need to figure out their issues with pace and cohesion ASAP. Sean Dyche can't keep relying on the same old tactics. The Bees were all over them, but somehow still managed to look disjointed themselves... it's a weird game of chess 
They deserve this win, especially after that hat-trick from Igor Tiago. Everton needs to step up their game if they wanna stay in the league...
